EV Charging Hotels in Bloomington, MN

Situated on the north bank of the Minnesota River, rests Bloomington, a suburban city in Hennepin County, Minnesota, just ten miles south of downtown Minneapolis. While visiting this unique city from new hotels with electric car charging stations, expect to be enchanted by the city’s abundance of outdoor activities, delicious dining options across town, interactive museums, and of course, the largest (and the world's most visited) mall in America. As Minnesota's fourth-largest city, Bloomington has all the ingredients for a fantastic stay in this sprawling city.

Without a doubt, one of Bloomington’s biggest attractions is its globally recognized Mall of America— the largest shopping mall in the United States, the largest in the Western Hemisphere, and the ninth-largest shopping mall in the world! You could spend an entire week touring this enormous indoor arena and enjoy its many shops and entertaining attractions, like SEA LIFE, the Nickelodeon Universe, the Crayola Experience, and the Amazing Mirror Maze, among many others. As a watering hole for locals and surrounding neighbors alike, this mall sees approximately 40 million people annually, 80% of whom are from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Illinois, and Ohio. And just outside the mall are EV charging hotels in Bloomington, great restaurants, and boutique shops to spend the day in during your visit.

Enjoy some time in the great outdoors from The Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge, a 14,000-acre National Wildlife Refuge in eastern and central Minnesota. This refuge is one of fourteen Regional Priority Urban Wildlife Refuges in the nation. Conveniently located just a few blocks from the Mall of America, you can tour the Bloomington Education and Visitor Center and hike from its two trailheads—the Wilkie Unit and the Louisville Swamp Unit. Stretching southwest through Minneapolis’ outer-ring suburbs to Henderson, eleven refuge units string along 70 miles of the Minnesota River.

Then, for a completely different park experience, head to the Normandale Community College's Japanese Garden, a stunning Japanese garden that offers a serene reprieve from the city and serves as a campus and community space for wellness and natural beauty. Perfect for a quiet afternoon of introspection, you can relax amongst its green spaces during its regular open hours in the spring, summer, and fall from sunrise to sunset.

If you have the kids in tow, you can’t miss a day at The Works, an interactive children's museum in Bloomington that focuses on technology and engineering. Inspired by the Exploratorium in San Francisco, the museum was developed by a software engineer who first opened The Works as a gallery exhibition within the Bell Museum of Natural History at the University of Minnesota. Now, its permanent home covers a staggering 40,000 square feet of space in Bloomington and sponsors exciting events like the annual "Tech Fest." The kids will have an absolute blast exploring this interactive museum for the day before a nice night in from your Bloomington hotel with EV charging.
